In 2016, as part of Formula 1’s transition into the social media age, the Driver of the Day vote was introduced: Formula 1’s answer to MVP in American Football, and Man of the Match in actual football. In the final stint of each race, fans can vote for who they think has driven best that day in a firstpastthepost system, and the results are published soon after race has finished. It has no effect on the Championship, but it is a nice badge of honour for the drivers to have. So, here’s a summary of who’s been voted Driver of the Day, and why.
